Dofetilide Capsules for Oral Administration

Dear all,

I am wondering if anyone has a specific policy in place at their institution which addresses opening dofetilide (Tikosyn) capsules for oral administration. It seems to be a bit of a gray area. ISMP has not addressed this to date and the manufacturer offers no clear guidance.

Thanks in advance for your response!
Ted
